Pushkar- The Royal Camp

Pushkar Horse and Camel Fair and Festival of Brahma in Rajasthan is famed and takes place in the weeks preceding and culminating on the day of the full moon in the Hindu calendar month of Kartik, that falls in October or November.

The Royal Camp at Pushkar is based on the royal safari and 'shikar' hunting camps of a bygone age. The luxury tents, each with verandah, bedroom and bathroom, are custom made, using the finest of Marwar traditional skills and weaving in the best of modern comforts.

Delicious Rajasthani cuisine is served in a large dining tent and there is a large open reception tent with seating areas.

With dusk comes the campfire, around which various performances indigenous to the Thar desert take place - be it music and dance or magic or puppet shows, juggling, flame throwing or camel parades.

Accommodation

There are 100 luxury tents, each with verandah and attached bath and water closet. They are located in a Shikar-style Camp which consists of a large Mughal-style reception tent, a recreation tent and several kitchen and store tents.

The camp is located in a large private site flanked by open fields and hills and overlooks the Mela ground, where most of the fair activities and festivities take place.

The Mela ground is within easy walking distance and the town itself of Pushkar can be approached on foot or camel, through the Mela, or by road transport.

Dining

Indian, including Rajasthani specialties, and Continental cuisine is served in a dining tent that can accommodate 130 people.

Area Infomation:

The little pilgrim town of Pushkar is only 11 km from the city of Ajmer and yet seems a world apart. The winding road from Ajmer crosses the Nag Parbat (Snake Mountain) pass in the Aravalli Hills suddenly provides a view of the Pushkar lake bounded by hills on three sides and the peaceful town by its side.
